How dumb do the Obamas think we are ?
From s Tea Party Friend
DID YOU THINK AMERICANS WOULDN'T FIND THIS OUT !
Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare website.
First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the no-bid contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
Toni Townes,’85, is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa. Her decision to return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kids was applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in 1998.
George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal’s parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.
On the government end, construction of the disastrous Healthcare.gov website was overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of longtime failed website-builder Kathleen Sebelius’ Department of Health and Human Services.
CGI Federal did not immediately return a request for comment.
_______________________________________________
Soooooo...........
Let’s see if we can connect the dots here ...
1.) No American companies considered;
2.) A Canadian company hired;
3.) No Bid contract for $93 million;
4.) Top executive at website-building firm went to school with Michelle Obama;
5.) Previous experience building gun registry for Canadian government;
6.) Fired by Canadian Government for overruns that cost Canada $100 million;
4.) Overruns for Obamacare enrollment website now costing U.S. $678 million, and still going up.
Does this bother anybody else besides me? And this is just one of their corrupt enterprises. The Obamas are worse than "Bernie" Madoff and far more dangerous to the country. These thieves and traitors should be in jail for the rest of their lives.

Some real life True Grit...a REAL Hero, not a pretender
Audie Murphy was only 46 years old when he died in a helicopter crash into
the Virginia Mts. He was bothered all his life when he came back from
the war and it really affected his life. He never got the medical help
like he should have gotten*.

*Not many young people know who Audie Murphy was or how big a war hero he
was. Two or three of the medals he earned would make most service men
proud, but to have earned his decorations in battle is truly unbelievable.*
*Now to find out that his widow was also most certainly a hero. Truly
fantastic. I am so grateful to have received this email. I hope you are
too.*

*(From the Los Angeles Times on April 15, 2010)
Pamela Murphy, widow of WWII hero and actor, Audie Murphy, died peacefully
at her home on April 8, 2010. She was the widow of the most decorated WWII
hero and actor, Audie Murphy, and established her own distinctive 35 year
career working as a patient liaison at the Sepulveda Veterans
Administration hospital, treating every veteran who visited the facility
as if they were a VIP.
Any soldier or Marine who came into the hospital got the same special
treatment from her. She would walk the hallways with her clipboard in hand
making sure her boys got to see the specialist they needed.
If they didn't, watch out. Her boys weren't Medal of Honor recipients or
movie stars like Audie, but that didn't matter to Pam. They had served
their country. That was good enough for her. She never called a veteran by
his first name. It was always "Mister." Respect came with the job.
"Nobody could cut through VA red tape faster than Mrs. Murphy," said
veteran Stephen Sherman, speaking for thousands of veterans she befriended
over the years. "Many times I watched her march a veteran who had been
waiting more than an hour right into the doctor's office. She was even
reprimanded a few times, but it didn't matter to Mrs. Murphy. "Only her
boys mattered. She was our angel."
Audie Murphy died broke in a plane crash in 1971, squandering millions of
dollars on gambling, bad investments, and yes, other women. "Even with the
adultery and desertion at the end, he always remained my hero," Pam told
me.
She went from a comfortable ranch-style home in Van Nuys where she raised
two sons to a small apartment - taking a clerk's job at the nearby VA to
support herself and start paying off her faded movie star husband's debts.
At first, no one knew who she was. Soon, though, word spread through the
VA that the nice woman with the clipboard was Audie Murphy's widow. It was
like saying General Patton had just walked in the front door. Men with
tears in their eyes walked up to her and gave her a hug.
"Thank you," they said, over and over.
The first couple of years, I think the hugs were more for Audie's memory
as a war hero. The last 30 years, they were for Pam.
One year I asked her to be the focus of a Veteran's Day column for all the
work she had done. Pam just shook her head no.
"Honor them, not me," she said, pointing to a group of veterans down the
hallway. "They're the ones who deserve it."
The vets disagreed. Mrs. Murphy deserved the accolades, they said.
Incredibly, in 2002, Pam's job was going to be eliminated in budget cuts.
She was considered "excess staff." "I don't think helping cut down on
veterans' complaints and showing them the respect they deserve, should be
considered excess staff," she told me. Neither did the veterans. They
went ballistic, holding a rally for her outside the VA gates. Pretty
soon, word came down from the top of the VA. Pam Murphy was no longer
considered "excess staff."
She remained working full time at the VA until 2007 when she was 87.
"The last time she was here was a couple of years ago for the conference
we had for homeless veterans," said Becky James, coordinator of the VA's
Veterans History Project. Pam wanted to see if there was anything she
could do to help some more of her boys. Pam Murphy was 90 when she died
last week. What a lady.

now that you mention it...sounds a little fishy , eh ?
Have you ever wondered about all those signs that just magically appeared over night?
The Government shutdown... An Interesting thought!
from an anonymous source
I have worked in the government on and off for 30 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or hours.
In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying: "this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies.
This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 month ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.
People do not realize just what we are dealing with!

The Obamacare fight in the Senate
Most of us have absolutely no love for Obamacare but.... This 'fight' currently center stage in the Senate is a huge distraction that, regardless of the outcome, will play right into the hands of the Obama administration.
If Obamacare is defunded (and it won't be because the Democrats control the Senate) then Obama will just veto the budget and say the Republicans caused the government to shut down and deny Granny her Social Security check.
When the Republicans are blamed then the Republicans (and also the Tea Party) will lose any gains made in the House and will have no chance on making gains and will probably lose ground in the Senate.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE LONG TERM! Elect more conservatives in 2014 and 2016 or kiss this country good-bye even sooner.
Another misconception: Obamacare is ALREADY funded just like Medicare is already funded. Simply saying, "we are going to defund Obamacare" does not actually defund Obamacare. The ONLY way to get rid of this monstrosity is to repeal it. As long as it is a law, it is funded; that is the way the law was written.
We need to vote into office (or keep in office) conservative lawmakers in 2014 and 2016. We need to elect a conservative president in 2016.
Causing a government shutdown in 2013 is a sure way to lose ground in 2014 and lose any chance at having a Republican back in the White House in 2017.
The best way to stop Obamacare is for Congress to vote for a delay in the individual mandate. Obama signed a delay for the employer mandate; why not just delay the individual mandate?
When conservatives finally control the House, Senate, and White House, then this ugly law can be repealed.

This Sums it up...BRAVO to the author
The Architect of Destruction
By Maureen Scott
Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. that was instilled in him by his family and mentors…it seems to have never left him.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America .
Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of " America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday - or someone plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children.
Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen and beloved American heroes.
Rather he was separated from all of these experiences and doesn't really understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unites us.
He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short time our country became a leader, and a protector of many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any American who opposes his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.

Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and anxiety among the people of America, rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured.
Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of power.

· Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.
· Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming and trustworthy force.
· Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people - on a daily basis!
Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America , and the epitome of a Demagogue.

Government at Work.....nothing to see here folks
Tsarnaev FamilySo now we find out that the entire Tsarnaev family (Dad, Mom, 2 sons & 2 daughters) started receiving government assistance as soon as they set foot in our country. As political refugees they were entitled to settlement assistance from day one. (Section 8 Housing, public healthcare, food stamps etc.)Then their stellar older son impregnates and marries the daughter of a doctor, and this new little Muslim family receives 18 months of government assistance. They only came off welfare after the naive young wife starts working 70 hours a week while husband Tamerlan stays home and builds bombs and plans to kill and injure the very Americans who have paid for his pathetic existence for the past 12 plus years.A Breakdown of your and my investment into the TsarnaevFamily:Section 8 housingFree public healthcareFood stamps and other EFT transfer paymentsFederal Pell Grants for both sons and most likely their daughters as well. (That is $5200.00 per year for each son or daughter who attended a college.)City of Cambridge also awarded a $2500 per year scholarship to the younger son.Younger son also reportedly was receiving state college scholarship.What did we receive for our investment:· Older son was arrested for domestic battery on a former girlfriend.· The mother was arrested last year for shoplifting $1600 in merchandise from a Lord & Taylor store. Mother is facing immediate arrest for failure to appear regarding this matter.· Then of course we know that the two sons combined to kill four people (3 Americans & a Chinese exchange student), severely injure 100 plus other people, carjacked another victim and only let him live when they found out that he was not an American citizen.· Now we have the two pathetic parents who have returned to Russia and are claiming that their poor sons are innocent and are being framed by the same American government that allowed for their pathetic existence the past 12 plus years.When are we going to put a stop to this madness??Please pass this on and commit to getting involved in the 2014 election process.

More stories of the right stuff....we should never forget...the Doolittle Raiders
It's the cup of brandy that no one wants to drink.
On Tuesday, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the surviving Doolittle Raiders will gather publicly for the last time.
They
once were among the most universally admired and revered men in the
United States. There were 80 of the Raiders in April 1942, when they
carried out one of the most courageous and
heart-stirring military operations in this nation's history. The mere
mention of their unit's name, in those years, would bring tears to the
eyes of grateful Americans. Now only four survive.
After
Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, with the United States reeling
and wounded, something dramatic was needed to turn the war effort
around.
Even
though there were no friendly airfields close enough to Japan for the
United States to launch a retaliation, a daring plan was devised.
Sixteen B-25s were modified so that they
could take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier. This had never
before been tried -- sending such big, heavy bombers from a carrier.
The
16, five-man crews, under the command of Lt. Col. James Doolittle, who
himself flew the lead plane off the USS Hornet, knew that they would not
be able to return to the carrier.
They would have to hit Japan and then hope to make it to China for a
safe landing.
But,
on the day of the raid, the Japanese military caught wind of the plan.
The Raiders were told that they would have to take off from much farther
out in the Pacific Ocean than they
had counted on. They were told that because of this they would not have
enough fuel to make it to safety. And those men went anyway.
They
bombed Tokyo, and then flew as far as they could. Four planes
crash-landed; 11 more crews bailed out; and, three of the Raiders died.
Eight more were captured; three were executed.
Another died of starvation in a Japanese prison camp. One crew made it
to Russia.
The Doolittle Raid sent a message from the United States to its enemies, and to the rest of the world: "We will fight.
And, no matter what it takes, we will win!"
Of
the 80 Raiders, 62 survived the war. They were celebrated as national
heroes, models of bravery. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced a motion picture
based on the raid; "Thirty Seconds Over
Tokyo," starring Spencer Tracy and Van Johnson, was a patriotic and
emotional box-office hit, and the phrase became part of the national
lexicon. In the movie-theater previews for the film, MGM proclaimed that
it was presenting the story "with supreme pride."
Beginning
in 1946, the surviving Raiders have held a reunion each April, to
commemorate the mission. The reunion is in a different city each year.
In 1959, the city of Tucson, Arizona,
as a gesture of respect and gratitude, presented the Doolittle Raiders
with a set of 80 silver goblets. Each goblet was engraved with the name
of a Raider.
Every
year, a wooden display case bearing all 80 goblets is transported to
the reunion city. Each time a Raider passes away, his goblet is turned
upside down in the case at the next
reunion, as his old friends bear solemn witness.
Also
in the wooden case is a bottle of 1896 Hennessy Very Special cognac.
The year is not happenstance: 1896 was when Jimmy Doolittle was born.
There
has always been a plan: When there are only two surviving Raiders, they
would open the bottle, at last drink from it, and toast their comrades
who preceded them in death.
As 2013 began, there were five living Raiders; then, in February, Tom Griffin passed away at age 96.
What
a man he was. After bailing out of his plane over a mountainous Chinese
forest after the Tokyo raid, he became ill with malaria, and almost
died. When he recovered, he was sent
to Europe to fly more combat missions. He was shot down, captured, and
spent 22 months in a German prisoner of war camp.
The
selflessness of these men, their sheer guts ... there was a passage in
the Cincinnati Enquirer obituary for Mr. Griffin that, on the surface,
had nothing to do with the war, but
that emblemizes the depth of his sense of duty and devotion:
"When
his wife became ill and needed to go into a nursing home, he visited
her every day. He walked from his house to the nursing home, fed his
wife, and at the end of the day brought
home her clothes. At night, he washed and ironed her clothes. Then he
walked them up to her room the next morning. He did that for three years
until her death in 2005."
So
now, out of the original 80, only four Raiders remain: Dick Cole
(Doolittle's co-pilot on the Tokyo raid), Robert Hite, Edward Saylor,
and David Thatcher. All are in their 90s. They
have decided that there are too few of them for the public reunions to
continue.
The
events in Fort Walton Beach this week will mark the end. It has come
full circle; Florida's nearby Eglin Field was where the Raiders trained
in secrecy for the Tokyo mission.
The
town is planning to do all it can to honor the men: a six-day
celebration of their valor, including luncheons, a dinner and a parade.
Do
the men ever wonder if those of us for whom they helped save the
country have tended to it in a way that is worthy of their sacrifice?
They don't talk about that, at least not around
other people. But if you find yourself near Fort Walton Beach this
week, and if you should encounter any of the Raiders, you might want to
offer them a word of thanks. I can tell you from firsthand observation
that they appreciate hearing that they are remembered.
The
men have decided that after this final public reunion they will wait
until a later date -- sometime this year -- to get together once more,
informally and in absolute privacy. That
is when they will open the bottle of brandy. The years are flowing by
too swiftly now; they are not going to wait until there are only two of
them.
They will fill the four remaining upturned goblets. And raise them in a toast to those who are gone!

OBAMAGATE - Official List of Obama's Crimes
1. Benghazi
2. Birth Certificate Fraud
3. IRS targeted conservative groups
4. Obama signed the NDAA which authorizes infinite detention for anyone he deems a terrorist threat.
5. Fast N Furious ... His administration also ran guns to drug dealers in Mexico in an attempt to create violence so they could pass gun control measures on the American people.
6. His administration has also cracked down on organic farmers, sending armed thugs to break up their operations so Monsanto's food monopoly can be maintained.
7. He also has not prosecuted one wall street criminal because his whole administration is filled with wall street crooks.
8. He has cracked down on whistle blowers harder than any president in a generation.
9. He's also went against his campaign promises to violate state law to prosecute people who give life saving medicine (marijuana) to patients in a way that has been way more harsh than what his predecessor did.
10. He also started an illegal, unconstitutional, aggressive war with Libya and he escalated drone attacks on innocent civilians in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia
11. He's been murdering American citizens without a trial and has an assassination list with people who he personally approves to be murdered without due process
12. He gave loans to multitudes of 'green companies' that proceeded to go bankrupt, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars. Many of these companies were large campaign contributors to his election.
Convicted felon and Chicago real estate developer Tony Rezko’s purchase of land adjacent to Obama’s house in Hyde Park, IL. In 2006, Rezko sold a 10 foot strip of his property to Obama for $104,500, rendering the remainder of Rezko’s $625,000 investment too small to be developed and, for all intents and purposes, worthless.
The provision of Obama campaign donor lists to ACORN in 2007 and 2008, more complete than the ones he provided to the FEC. ACORN used the lists to raise money for Obama’s election from donors who had already maxed out their legally allowable contributions.
Widespread voter fraud including voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, falsified documents, and threats of violence against Hillary Clinton supporters committed by the Obama campaign and ACORN during the 2008 Democrat primary election. For more information see my CFP article How Obama Used an Army of Thugs to Steal the 2008 Democratic Party Nomination.
Obama’s refusal to release his long form birth certificate which would show conclusively that he is a dual citizen and therefore not constitutionally eligible to serve as President. Obama’s college records, which have also not been released, would also contain information regarding his dual citizenship status.
Protecting union interests over those of GM and Chrysler bond holders during bankruptcy proceedings, forcing investors to accept millions of dollars in losses in direct violation of bankruptcy laws, money to which they were legally entitled.
Preferential treatment given to minority and women owned car dealerships by Obama administration officials as part of the auto industry bailout program and the forced closing of a disproportionate number of rural dealerships located in areas that did not vote for Obama.
Unsubstantiated firing of Corporation for National and Community Service Inspector General Gerald Walpin for exposing Sacramento Mayor and Obama supporter Kevin Johnson’s misuse of an $850,000 AmeriCorps grant.
Purchase of Congressional support for the passage of Obama’s healthcare bill including the “Cornhusker Kickback”, “Louisiana Purchase” and having the Department of Interior increase water allocations to the Central Valley of California to secure the votes of Democrat Reps. Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa.
Lying to the American people by promising they could keep their healthcare coverage if they wanted to, when in reality tens of millions will be forced out of their current plans.
Attempted bribery of Rep. Joe Sestak with job offers to get him to drop out of the Senate primary race against Sen. Arlen Specter.
Directing the EPA to unilaterally set carbon emission standards, thus bypassing Congress which opposes Obama’s energy reform bill. For more information see my CFP article Forget Cap and Trade: EPA Regulation of CO2 Emissions Will Begin in 10 Months.
The Obama administration’s statement that a panel of experts had agreed with their plan for a 6 month Gulf Coast drilling moratorium, when in actuality none of them had supported the measure.
Bullying BP to set up a $20 billion slush fund to compensate Gulf Coast businesses and residents affected by the oil spill, to be administered by an Obama political appointee without any judicial or congressional oversight.
Implementing a third oil-drilling moratorium after the first two were thrown out of court, creating a de facto Gulf Coast offshore drilling ban in opposition to two judge’s rulings.
Establishment of a commission to investigate the Gulf Coast oil spill that contains not one oil industry expert and whose transparent purpose is to push a partisan political agenda rather than investigate the cause of the disaster.
Obama’s policy of intentionally not securing our nation’s borders, in opposition to Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution which calls for the President to protect states from foreign invasion, in an attempt to blackmail Republican support for comprehensive immigration reform. In essence, Obama is holding border states and residents politically hostage during a time they are being overrun by a narco-paramilitary invasion.
Department of Justice illegal race based policies regarding voter fraud as exposed by former Justice attorney J. Christian Adams. This includes the dropping of voter intimidation charges against 2 Black Panthers brandishing weapons in front of a voting location in Philadelphia and the stated intention by political appointees to ignore voter crimes committed by African Americans, Latinos and other minorities.
Department of Justice purposefully allowing some states to continue their disenfranchisement of military personnel serving overseas in direct opposition to the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act, which was established in response to the more than 17,000 military votes that were not counted in the 2008 election because ballots had arrived after the deadline.
Recess appointment of Donald Berwick as head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services without even a token attempt to put him through the Congressional nomination process, signaling that Congress’s constitutional obligation to vet presidential appointees means nothing to Obama. The same can be said of the 30+ Obama administration czars.
Spending $23 million of taxpayer money through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to support a constitutional referendum in Kenya in spite of the Siljander Amendment, which makes it illegal for the U.S. to lobby for abortion in other countries. The Kenyan referendum was partially written by Planned Parenthood and is designed to legalize abortion in that nation.
The participation of the Obama administration in the firing of Sherry Sherrod from the USDA without due process because of publicized out of context remarks she made at a NAACP meeting in March 2010.
The White House sham investigation of BP’s involvement in the release of the mass murdering Lockerbie bomber from prison. The Obama administration not only knew beforehand of the Scottish government’s plan to set Abdel Baset al-Megrahi free on “compassionate” grounds, they even sent a letter to Scottish authorities stating their preference for his remaining in Scotland over his transfer to a Libyan prison.
The canceling of 77 properly filed oil field development contracts approved by the Bush administration by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, preventing the extraction of up to 3 trillion gallons of oil buried under Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and North Dakota, more than enough to end our dependence on foreign oil and supply the U.S. with its energy needs for hundreds of years at current consumption rates.
Investigations by the Department of Homeland Security to determine the political affiliation of people making Freedom of Information Act requests and the subsequent delay and even altogether ignoring of requests made by Republican affiliated individuals.
That's one HELL of a rap sheet.

A Traitor Once, a Traitor Forever
AVOID THE MOVIE "THE BUTLER"
Never forget what this miserable woman did and the pain and suffering she caused.
THE MOVIE "THE BUTLER IS BEING SHOT IN NEW ORLEANS.
THE TRAITOR JANE FONDA PLAYS NANCY REAGAN.
AS AN AMERICAN I CAN NEVER FORGIVE JANE FONDA FOR HER ACTIONS IN VIETNAM.
MANY AMERICANS DIED IN THAT WAR AND FOR HER TO CALL AMERICANS SERVICE PEOPLE
WARMONGERS IS UNFORGIVEABLE TO ME.
SHE WAS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF 3 MEN
WHO DIED AFTER RECEIVED BEATINGS FOR PASSING A NOTE ABOUT THE CRUELTY
THEY FACED EVERY DAY WHICH SHE IN TURN TURNED OVER TO THE VIETCONG..
I hope all people, young and old know this...
IF not please read all of this message.
In "my time" it was fairly well known what she did, but over time it seems to have been forgotten or lost in time...
otherwise she never should be asked to perform in any capacity !
Ronald Reagan would be rolling over in his grave!
JANE FONDA AS NANCY REAGAN
This cannot go around too much.
Those of us that were living in those years will never forget
that she was a traitor and did a lot of damage to our boys..
She has now been chosen to play Nancy Reagan in her life story.
I am sending this one out because so many do not know this truth...
and also because she was on 3 times this week talking about her new book...
And how good she feels in her 70's...
she still does not know what she did wrong...
her book just may not make the best list if more people knew...
also....
Barbara Walters said:
Thank you all. Many died in Vietnam for our freedoms.
I did not like Jane Fonda then and I don't like her now.
She can lead her present life the way she wants
and perhaps SHE can forget the past,
but we DO NOT have to stand by without comment
and see her "honored" as a "Woman of the Century"
by President Obama
In Memory of LT. C.Thomsen Wieland who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton [Famous North Vietnam Prison]
A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED.
KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA
This is for all the kids born in the 70's and after who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear.
BARBARA WALTERS WRITES:
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot.
The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.
In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison the ' Hanoi Hilton.' Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American 'Peace Activist' the 'lenient and humane treatment' he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward on to the camp Commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the ' Hanoi Hilton'...the first three of which his family only knew he was 'missing in action'. His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a 'peace delegation' visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: 'Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?' and 'Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?' Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat.. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day..
I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam , and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia ; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi . My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot , South Vietnam , whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs)
We were Jane Fonda's 'war criminals...'
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi , I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received... and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as 'humane and lenient'.
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of '100 Years of Great Women.' Lest we forget....' 100 Years of Great Women' should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can.. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that we will never forget.

211 years , still true....Jefferson was a Genius
-- Thomas Jefferson
"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
-- Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
I wish we could get this out to everyone!

It's easy to dismiss individual programs that
benefit non-citizens until they're put together and this picture emerges.
Someone did a lot of research to put together
all of this data. Often these programs are buried within other programs making
them difficult to find. Great bit of Information.

Subject: BILL CLINTON’S MILITARY
CAREER
Bill
& Hillary got about $12 million for their to-be written memoirs.
Here's some help for them since their memories are getting old.
HB
Bill
& Hillary, Met: 1970, Married: October 11, 1975.
BILL CLINTONS MILITARY CAREER
Bill
Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting all
contractual conditions of
registering for the draft. Selective Service
Number is 326 46 228.
Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17,
1964.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20,
1968.
Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on
July 28, 1969.
Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted
into the military.
Bill
Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army
Reserves on August 07, 1969,
under authority of COL. E. Holmes.
Clinton signs enlistment papers
and takes oath of enlistment.
Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station
at
the University of Arkansas
ROTC, September 1969.
Bill
Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army
Reserves is revoked by
Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject
to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2) (a) -
registrant who has failed to report...remain
liable for induction.
Bill
Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but
anyone who has
already been ordered to report for induction is
INELIGIBLE!
Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a
fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.
Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General
(1976), while a fugitive from justice.
Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977,
from President Carter.
Bill Clinton becomes the FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL
FELON ever to serve as President of the United
States.
All these facts come from Freedom of Information
requests, public laws, and various books that have been published, and
have not been refuted by Clinton.
After
the
1993 World Trade Center bombing,
President Clinton promised that those responsible would
be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi
Arabia, which killed
five U.S. military
personnel, Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the
1996 Khobar Towers bombing
in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured
200 U.S. military
personnel, Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing
of U.S. embassies in Africa, which
killed 224 and injured
5,000, Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which
killed 17 and injured
39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised
that those responsible be hunted down and punished.
Maybe
if Clinton had kept those promises, an
estimated 3,000 people in New
York and Washington, DC,
who are now dead would be alive today.
THINK
ABOUT IT! It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets
$8 Million for her forthcoming memoir.
Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to
be written. This from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall
anything about past events while under oath.
